[Chuuya turns instantly red at that statement. He doesn't remember saying anything about love! It's not like he hasn't thought it, wondered if that's what it is, but somehow it feels weirdly... presumptuous to apply that word to his own feelings. Like he's trying to claim something he has no right to. It would be both naive and selfish.
He'd be the first person to admit he doesn't know the first thing about love. He never belonged to that world.
And yet Dazai is --
-- Talking about his actual dick, he realizes, belatedly.]
[Chuuya doesn't have to say the L word, either! His reaction says more than enough - and while that should really be freaking Dazai out if anything, he's rather enjoying it. Something about the circumstances, or the fact that it's been just the two of them here for a while, simply allows that. Maybe Dazai is feeling somewhat safe, himself!
But there's no point in thinking about that, clearly.]
Oh? Then how are you still pretending to have refined, expensive taste?
[It's gonna take Chuuya a while to recover from Dazai's use of that word. He still feels too flustered, pulse beating a little too fast, reminded that he's never found a better word to describe his feelings either. But he has to let that go for now.]
Considering all the money I've spent replacing my car or letting you use my credit card, you're definitely expensive.
[Refined? Probably not. Though he's never found anyone better, or even anyone who compares.]
Obviously it's just an exception. I still have better taste than you.
[Putting it that way, Dazai is indeed expensive! He graciously concurs. And silently applauds Chuuya for this rare case of solid reasoning, but he chooses not to be too emphatic about that part, also because there is still some minor arguing to be done.]
Name one person.
[This wasn't intended as a trick question, but the moment it leaves Dazai's lips, it kind of is.]
One person you've been interested in that shows better taste.
[Chuuya would really like to shut Dazai up somehow. There's no answer to that question, and Dazai knows it, because Chuuya would struggle to point out any other person he's been interested in, let alone someone who shows better taste. It's always been one night stands, he's too busy for anything else!
He could probably name someone else he's slept with, if he thought about it. But then Dazai would make him admit that they don't matter.]
Outside of sex, I have better taste. [Which is a much safer argument to have. But then he can't resist trying to call out Dazai a bit as well:] How many people have you bothered to sleep with more than a few times?
[It's not Dazai's fault that he's always right??? Maybe Chuuya should have considered that before trying to lie to Dazai.
Unfortunately Chuuya knows how to put Dazai back in his place, even if Dazai is entirely right - quite rude of the chibi! - so Dazai considers his options for only about a second, then gives a dismissive wave of his hand. Better for both of them if they drop this topic, really.]
Agree to disagree.
[... That is definitely a valid argument in this case. Mostly because it only responds to Chuuya's side of things, and ignores the question asked of Dazai altogether.]
[Dazai doesn't have to say it. Just like Chuuya's reaction said enough, Dazai's lack of a reply tells Chuuya exactly what he wanted to hear. And he's not sure how to react to that, either. Dazai gets bored easily, and hasn't had any long term sexual partners besides him - Chuuya already knew all of that. But he hasn't actually stopped to think about that fact before.
He'd never wanted to think about why it's the same for himself, either. He's always blamed it on being too busy, which is partially true, so it worked as an easy excuse.
Maybe he shouldn't think about it too deeply now, either. He doesn't want to fuck it up somehow.]
I have better taste in clothes.
[A safer topic. He's feeling too much again, all of it warm.]
[Nevermind how Dazai was using the same type of argument before, because clearly that was Different. Mostly because Dazai said it and Dazai is always right by default.
Well, Dazai isn't only here to be right, though.]
... Anyway, if that's your argument, shouldn't you at least take a shower?
[Not that there's anything wrong with the way Chuuya looks, and Dazai isn't going to make him dress up all fancy - probably! - but a little self-care wouldn't go amiss. Maybe Chuuya doesn't even technically have to do it himself, either.]
So how could I dress better? And don't say anything about the hat.
[As if Dazai wasn't the one who stole the hat back from Verlaine for him.
But Chuuya isn't really too invested in that argument. Dazai has good taste when he bothers to put the effort in, but Chuuya isn't about to admit that. He glances up at the mention of a shower, then down at himself, like he's trying to decide how much he needs one. He's pretty sure he doesn't smell, at least.]
Then you'll have to take one, too, or you automatically lose the argument, right?
[A warm shower does sound nice, and it would probably help, but he wants to keep being selfish and stay close. He knows he can't keep that up for too long, but still.]
[Dazai has already opened his mouth to mention the hat when Chuuya rudely blocks that excellent argument before he can even start it. Oh well, Dazai will just shut his mouth and sulk a bit instead. He truly isn't that invested, either.]
It wasn't an argument about personal hygiene, though?
[If it was, Dazai would probably lose, let's face it. But he still doesn't see how him showering is necessary.
That doesn't mean he won't, though. He'd kind of figured it would come to this. With a sigh, he gets up, stretching a bit as he does. He feels kind of rested, which is weird..? But then, he just managed to embarrass Chuuya, and that's always rejuvenating.]
But... I guess, since it's a part of proper pet ownership, it can't be helped.
[Chuuya's knee-jerk reaction is still to object to being called Dazai's pet. And he should. He should be loud about it. Except that he knows he won't get anywhere with it, not anymore, and it seems more important to trap Dazai in the shower with him first. He can't help the way his expression gives him away, though.
He gets up to follow Dazai towards the bathroom.]
I'll start objecting to that again soon, you know.
[Even if he doesn't actually hate it. Especially when Dazai is paying so much attention to him, making sure Chuuya recovers from his kink hangover. Giving him something he didn't even realize he needed.]
But since this is technically a continuation of last night. The aftermath or something.
[Of course Dazai knows that he won't be able to get away with the pet talk forever, just like he knows he was pushing it a bit already. But hey, it worked! And he did need an excuse to join Chuuya. Since it seems he's successfully distracted Chuuya from that, at least, he's going to call this a win, only smiling a bit at Chuuya's preemptive future objections.]
Mhm, just a continuation. So let's continue.
[... He probably sounds a bit too happy about that. But at least he's not trying to be a dick about it?
In the bathroom, he'll help Chuuya undress first, if Chuuya will allow it. Not that Chuuya can't do it himself, but they're doing the pet thing - more or less, sorta kinda, halfway still - so it only makes sense. Only after that will Dazai bother undressing, himself.
[Of course Chuuya will let Dazai help, because that means Dazai will be touching him. He'll even tilt his head back, let Dazai take off his collar for him, since unfortunately he can't wear that in the shower. He hates the feeling of not having anything around his neck. But Dazai can put it back on for him after, as well.
It's clear his objections about being treated as a pet were still not too serious, with his quickly he let that go. For today, at least, the attention Dazai is giving him because of it feels too good to resist.
No, there's more important things to object to.]
Wet bandages are disgusting, Dazai.
[And he's more than happy to help Dazai take those off if he needs it.]
[Ugh... Dazai really should have gotten a dog that doesn't bark. His bandages are just fine, wet or otherwise! He would love to tell Chuuya to mind his own business.
But Chuuya has been very accommodating. Dazai supposes he can make some sacrifices in return. Even though he'll sulk about it.]
Go on, then.
[He spreads his arms to give Chuuya better access, because if Chuuya wants the bandages off, the very least he can do is take them off, himself. Dazai is already being nice, allowing it in the first place!]
[Chuuya looks surprised at first - and then happy, because it's not often Dazai agrees to remove the bandages. He realizes a bit too late that he probably shouldn't be too obvious about that.
He ducks his head for a second until he can get his expression back under control, but he'll step closer so he can start helping with those bandages. He wouldn't have minded anyway, but it seems like a fair trade. He'll start with Dazai's arms, then his neck and his torso, working his way down. He'll leave them in a pile to throw out later, since he always makes sure to keep enough bandages stocked for Dazai when he needs them.]
And your body didn't even fall apart.
[He can't resist teasing. But he is struggling to resist just touching. He rarely gets a chance like this, he wants to stroke across Dazai's chest, everywhere he can reach, but he knows that might be too much. He'll just get up in tiptoe and try to pull Dazai down for a kiss instead.]
[It's definitely obvious that Chuuya is a little too happy about the bandage removal, but it was meant as a reward of sorts - albeit a passive more than an active one - so Dazai would have held it against him whether Chuuya showed his happiness or not. As it stands, this way Dazai gets at least some benefits out of it, too. It's always nice to watch Chuuya try not to be obvious when he's rarely anything but.
Dazai would claim that he's fine with being touched, since it's come to this, but he definitely wouldn't be - or at least not enough to keep from instantly sabotaging things again under the guise of petty revenge on Chuuya. Best to wait a little while, probably. But a kiss is nice, and he'll happily reciprocate, taking his time before breaking the kiss and belatedly reacting to what Chuuya said before.]
That's because you haven't sucked it dry yet.
[Clearly the lack of recent sex is the only reason why Dazai's body manages to stick together without the bandages. That just makes sense.]
[The kiss is extremely nice. Chuuya could easily just melt into it, and wouldn't mind postponing the shower just to stand like this, bodies close enough that he can feel the heat coming from Dazai, their skin (physical skin, no barrier) occasionally brushing up against each other without him even trying to make it happen. But he won't try to drag it out. There's more time for that later.
He keeps one arm loosely wrapped around Dazai's shoulders still, an amused smirk at that joke.]
Maybe I shouldn't risk it until you're fully wrapped up again.
[As if Chuuya would say no if Dazai wanted a blowjob. As if he'd ever be the one denying Dazai sex of any kind.]
[Dazai always wants everything, but right now, showering is a priority. Also because he's without his bandages, and it's cold where Chuuya isn't touching. 😔]
Woe is me, Chuuya doesn't care if I fall apart. Just because you're only interested in certain parts of me!
[Okay, even Dazai doesn't believe that. But it's entertaining to play himself up like some kind of full-on sex machine, existing solely for Chuuya's sake, and likely to fall apart at any time. Even though the latter part of that description is probably the only one with any truth to it.
He doesn't try to get away from Chuuya, putting an arm around Chuuya's waist to hold him close (or close enough), but he does lean over to turn on the shower, so the water can get warm. Priorities.]
[And Chuuya doesn't try to move too close, staying where Dazai's arm is holding him. He wants to, he's actively holding himself back, but like this it's better to let Dazai decide how much they should be touching. Maybe if he proves he can control himself, it can happen more often. But either way he doesn't actually want Dazai to be uncomfortable.
Well, there's no harm in pressing a brief kiss to Dazai's shoulder, probably.]
I use more than just one part of you as a sex toy.
[Because yes, clearly that's all he cares about! Totally no other feelings involved here at all!]
Though if your brain turned to mummified dust, you wouldn't be able to come up with new ways to torture me, and I could still ride your dick.
Exactly! [Scenario overruled, because clearly:] You enjoy me torturing you.
[Poor, innocent Dazai, only doing such cruel things to please Chuuya!! ... Okay, no, he's not actually going to even joke about that (probably). But he does have a point, he thinks, in that Chuuya needs all of him.
In spite of what he said like two second ago, but, you know.
He's too lazy to do any lifting, but he also doesn't want to change their position too much - least of all for the more distant - when they're pleasantly close to each other. So he'll simply nudge Chuuya and make it more of a dance spin into the hot running water of the shower. Somehow, he manages to be elegant about this shit too.]
[His tone turns into one of surprise at the end, as Dazai is suddenly spinning him into the shower. But of course he doesn't even stumble, just as elegantly allowing himself to be led through the few dance steps it takes before they're under the spray. And of course Dazai has positioned them so the spray hits Chuuya directly, immediately soaking his hair through. He should be annoyed.
He lets out a small huff of laughter, ducking his head again, but this time to avoid getting water in his mouth. He's not sure why these little things are affecting him so much right now, it just feels weirdly nice.]
If you wanted to dance, you should have put on some music.
[A rhetorical question - which is a bit silly, because Chuuya always needs music. Dazai just refuses to acknowledge that at the moment, because -... Well, just because. Releasing Chuuya with one hand, he grabs the shampoo. He did get Chuuya into the shower hair-first for a reason, after all.]
You could always sing, yourself?
[Or not. Well, whatever Chuuya wants, really. Meanwhile, Dazai is going to get to the hair washing. It's a shame that Dazai wants to use both his hands for that, so he has to let go of Chuuya, but he supposes he'll survive that. Time for some foamy hair-rubs!]
[While Dazai grabs the shampoo, Chuuya tips his head back, making sure the front of his hair is soaked through as well. Then he moves so at least his head is out of the spray, more than happy to let Dazai wash his hair for him.]
And get shampoo in my mouth?
[Dazai lets go, and Chuuya wraps his other arm around Dazai's waist, as though to make up for the lack of contact. Though Dazai's hands in his hair is definitely nice. He closes his eyes so he can just enjoy it.]
Are you underestimating my shampooing skills, Chuuya?!
[Dazai makes sure to sound Very Offended™ about that, but his expression doesn't bother keeping up. It's not like he actually cares about any deliberately-perceived insults, and besides, it's hard to be mad with Chuuya touching him. Even though not wearing his bandages is still a bit weird.]
At least pick something fitting for the mood.
[They're having some nice chill time! Please no hard rock or metal of any kind. It's not that it's bad music, but Dazai has sensitive ears!! (Okay, not really.)]
[But can Dazai resist being a dick? What if Chuuya sings the wrong song?
Though a lot of things would be worth the risk, just for this. It feels too good, having Dazai essentially giving him a head rub, the almost bizarre normalcy of the moment, something that shouldn't suit the two of them but somehow does. Chuuya's expression is unusually relaxed as he meets Dazai's eyes. This is definitely helping him feel better.]
Actually gonna let me control the music?
[Though he does agree, hard rock or metal wouldn't be right for the mood.]
